Bible journaling – I Thessalonians 5:16-18
Today, we are in I Thessalonians for our Bible journaling page. It’s a simple and amazing passage. I have seen some amazing benefits to writing Scripture in the last two months. Scripture has been on my mind so much more than when I just read it. Habits of Bible time and prayer have been firmly […]
The Bell of Atri – using history to teach Torah
I love history! If you study history as a collection of stories about the human experience rather than dates and facts, history is a colorful and rich study. We study people and their choices, their consequences and successes. We learn from their experiences and hopefully apply their wisdom to our own lives. My daughter Sadie […]
Our school – blow by blow
We have recently changed things up a bit in our school. This change came about mostly because Doug and I sensed that too much was falling on me, and I needed a bit of relief. We needed the kids to take more responsibility and work more independently. So when I saw a friend of mine […]
How do I homeschool Torah?
“Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one. You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might. And these words that I command you today shall be on your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall […]
Rubber boot homeschool – history alive
I have decided to start writing my rubber boot homeschool posts again. Why, you might ask? Well, because I want to. And I missed writing them. And I’m excited about the new approach we’ve been using of late. And I want to show you that I really do have an understanding of grammar, no matter […]
At our house
When you hear a redwinged blackbird sing, you know everything will be okay. This was our front yard only a few days ago. Everything was white and getting to the barn involved a knee deep trek. Doug had some difficulties in the wonderful world of aviation, and we used the tractor to tow his truck […]
Our schoolroom
It’s a new year, and I decided it was about time to reclaim the office. It had become a dumping ground for everything that we didn’t want in the living room. And the living room has its own problems. I have a table in the living room where I keep track of all our bills, […]
Torah and homeschooling
Also: Rubber boot homeschool week #12 🙂 My website is all about Torah family living, and homeschooling is a big part of our family life. So, I’d like to take this week, and possibly some future weeks to discuss how I feel Torah affects our homeschool. Just as an explanatory note, we lean very strongly […]
Rubber boot homeschool week #11
Here I am at the end of another school week. My Thursday night checklist is posted on the corkboard by my desk. For some reason, there is a cookbook, sippy cup, bottle of vitamins, and half a carrot next to my laptop. The kids are just settling in to sleep. Noah is nursing, so I […]
Rubber boot homeschool week #10
I have been spending some time working on homeschool materials for Sadie this week. She is a smart girl, but there are some areas where I want to spend some time. Aspergers is not a “disability” in my view, but she does need to be taught some things on purpose, where other kids are simply […]
